The Football Association will take no action against Mark Clattenburg over a complaint by Chelsea that he used a racist remark towards Mikel John Obi.

The FA has decided there is "no case to answer" over the allegation the referee said "shut up you monkey" to the midfielder during the match against Manchester United on 28 October.

An FA statement also said the complaint by Mikel's team-mate Ramires was "made in good faith". Mikel himself did not hear the alleged comment.

It seems Chelsea just can't stay out of the news at the moment. I feel bad for Clattenburg, he's been forced to miss games and had his reputation dragged through the dirt, all because of a big misunderstanding. Chelsea players really are some of the most loathsome, arrogant cretins in the game.
